Lianzhou Basin.
Two men dressed in black were secretly meeting up in an uninhabited area in the wilderness.
"How's your preparation?"
"Everything's ready!"
"Good!"
"I heard that guy isn't in the territory right now?"
"Yes, it's been confirmed."
"Hehe, we brought this upon ourselves!"
"Act according to plan and keep in touch."
After a short conversation, the two of them quickly separated and disappeared into the vast wilderness.
Not long after the two left, a young man suddenly walked out of the bushes not far away. The man looked ordinary and wore ordinary clothes. The only special thing about him was the bird perched on his shoulder.
The young man looked at the people who just left and muttered to himself, "A bunch of rats. Do they think they can sneak around the Military Intelligence Department's investigation?"
After that, he whispered to the bird perched on his shoulder. The bird fluttered its wings and flew into the sky, soon disappearing.
Gaia Year 2, January 27th.
The coast of Cliff Bay near Nanshan was crowded and lively. It was the chosen port construction site. Chief Designer Sun Xiaoyue was in charge of the port selection.
When she was still in Dali, Sun Xiaoyue was already a senior architect. After training for half a year in the territory, she was recently promoted to a master architect. She was the most suitable person to be in charge of the port design.
The planned Nanshan Port was larger than Beihai Port. It would be a purely military port in the future.
The port was close to Nanshan, which was good for nearby materials. Bai Nanpu had already arranged for craftsmen to open a large lumberyard and a large quarry at Nanshan.
There was an endless stream of cars going to Nanshan and the port.
On the west side of Nanshan Port was the Ten Li Mudflat. On the mudflat, a large number of salt workers were busy reclaiming the salt pans. The scale of the first phase of the salt pans reached 10000 mu, which was equivalent to building another North Twilight Saltworks.
On the west side of the Ten Li Mudflat was a sandy beach. It was the famous Golden Coast.
On the coast, a two-story wooden building was temporarily built.
On the balcony of the second floor, there was a row of bamboo recliners. Ouyang Shuo and Song Jia were lying comfortably on the recliners, enjoying a leisurely holiday.
If there was an iced drink, life would be complete!
On the beach in front of the building, Bing-Er was chasing and playing with the four little ones. Little Green swam in the sea, occasionally picking up a big fish, causing Bing 'er to cheer.
Little White also jumped into the sea and was hugged by Bing'er. The little guy shook his fur in dissatisfaction, causing a big splash and drenching Bing'er.
Under the reflection of the sun, the splashing water emitted a dazzling brilliance.
"Ya!" Bing 'er mumbled and giggled.
Hei Ya loyally guarded the little master's side, and from time to time, he could even catch the big fish that Little Green threw over. He ate happily, his face full of satisfaction.
Not far away, Zi Su stood solemnly with a towel and food in her hands.
The picture in front of him dazzled Ouyang Shuo. Happiness was sometimes so simple.
Ouyang Shuo withdrew his gaze and stretched his body in satisfaction, then he looked at Song Jia and said lazily, "After resting for a few days, my entire body feels much more relaxed."
"Lazy bum!" Song Jia glared at him.
"Let's go out and exercise tomorrow. These few days, Wang Feng has been in trouble."
The Forbidden Brigade's operation to eliminate wild beasts and dire beasts was not going well. Not to mention the wild beasts that gathered in groups, the dire beasts that appeared from time to time were the real enemies of the Forbidden Brigade.
The dire beasts that they encountered that night were only at the edge of the line.
As the operation progressed, the dire beasts on the island became stronger and stronger. Wang Feng once said that he could fend off two dire beasts, but now he had to fend off one dire beast.
Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to deploy another battalion to participate in the operation.
"I want to go too!" After playing for a few days, Song Jia also could not sit still.
"No!" Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said, "This is a military operation. If you, the hostess, go, the soldiers will be restrained."
"Hmph, don't look down on me!" Song Jia was unconvinced.
"You!" Ouyang Shuo knew that Song Jia was eager to do something, so he did not want to discourage her. He smiled and said, "I know a place that is suitable for you, but I don't know if you dare to go."
"Tell me, I definitely dare!"
"Five Finger Mountain!"
"Five Finger Mountain?"
"That's right. Five Finger Mountain is a treasure land for high-level players. If you're lucky, you might even have a fortuitous encounter. "Ouyang Shuo thought of [Legend of Five Finger Mountain].
"Really?" Hearing about a fortuitous encounter, Song Jia's eyes lit up.
"When have I ever lied to you? The problem is that the Five Finger Mountain is high and the road is long. If you go alone, you might be killed at any moment. "
"It's not as exaggerated as you say." Song Jia was not easy to fool. "I'm not like the Forbidden Brigade, who obviously wants to kill three people. If you go alone, as long as you're careful, you can avoid the dire beasts and aborigines. "
Ouyang Shuo nodded, tacitly agreeing with Song Jia.
"It just so happens that I've reached a bottleneck in my martial arts and need some experience. Isn't this the right time?"
Martial arts that had not been tested in actual combat could not be used in public.
Song Jia had been staying in the sect, so she indeed needed some experience in the wild.
Ouyang Shuo thought for a moment, then took out an item from his storage pouch and passed it to Song Jia. "If you want to go, I will fully support you. Remember to bring this."
"What is this?" Song Jia took the item and looked at it. It was a doll.
"This is the Substitute Doll that I bought in the first system auction."
"Ah, this is the legendary Substitute Doll?" Song Jia looked at the doll in her hand curiously. "I heard that the Substitute Doll's price is sky-high, and there's no market for it."
"Of course. As the players' strength increases, other than us feudal lords, who doesn't care about their lives? This kind of treasure that can allow a player to reincarnate once after death is naturally very popular. "
Song Jia thought for a moment, then returned the Substitute Doll to Ouyang Shuo.
“？？？”
"This time, I will have to go through a life and death trial. If I bring this along, it will be equivalent to having an extra layer of insurance. At that time, I don't know if I will have the courage to risk my life and come back to life, "Song Jia said.
Ouyang Shuo's eyes lit up, and he looked at Song Jia with appreciation. In his previous life, he was also an adventure-type player. How could he not understand the meaning behind Song Jia's words?
If a person knew that even if they died, they would not suffer any losses. Then, when faced with a life and death crisis, it was very likely that they would not be overcautious and indecisive. Instead, they would subconsciously choose to move forward bravely.
It might seem brave, but it was actually just reckless.
A true warrior, when faced with a life and death situation, would use firm courage and wisdom to fight for that slim chance of survival. They would not mindlessly be brave and aggressive.
"Since you can think of this, this time's trial is already half successful." Ouyang Shuo was not stingy with his praise.
Song Jia smiled faintly, looking extremely charming.
The next day, Song Jia set off alone.
In the morning light, one person and one sword gradually disappeared into the wilderness, leaving behind a beautiful scenery.
After watching Song Jia leave, Ouyang Shuo turned his head, looked at Wang Feng and the others, and said, "Let's set off as well!"
The soldiers of the Imperial Guard Brigade, including Ouyang Shuo, did not ride warhorses on this trip. Their mounts would have to wait until the territory was established and the Teleportation Formation was opened before they could teleport over.
Ouyang Shuo took out the Demonic Spear and walked at the front of the group. After passing through the shrubs and walking for more than ten minutes, the group finally arrived at the place where the Imperial Guard Brigade had cleared out yesterday.
The wild beasts on Jingzhou Island mainly consisted of wild boars, gibbon, cloud leopards, and rhinoceroses. Wild boars and rhinoceroses lived in the plains, while gibbon and cloud leopards mainly resided in the mountains and forests.
As for the dire beasts, they came in all kinds of strange shapes and forms.
The most common dire beasts were wild boars, gibbon, cloud leopards, rhinoceroses, and other wild beasts that had evolved. Some of them had mutated in terms of body shape, and some parts of their bodies had mutated. They were similar to Commander Grade Bosses. As for the rare dire beasts, probably only those who had flipped through the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" would know their names.
Of course, in front of the players' powerful detection skills, no information could be hidden from them.
After arriving at the destination, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard Brigade, under the leadership of the officer, orderly cleared out the wild beasts. The soldiers formed fixed formations in small teams, and like highly efficient killing machines, they advanced all the way.
Ouyang Shuo did not intend to interfere with the ordinary wild beasts. He had come today to meet the dire beasts on the island, and at the same time, to hone his spear technique.
Ouyang Shuo had already practiced the Yang family's spear technique to the fourth level, [Familiarity]. The fifth level, [Mastery], was a huge hurdle. If he could pass it, it would mean that his spear technique had achieved a small success. If he couldn't, he would stagnate.
To break through to the fifth level, the most important thing was actual combat. Only in actual combat could he split the spear technique's various moves, repeatedly, and act according to the situation.
When faced with an attack, there was no need to think. The body would instinctively make the most correct choice, and the heart would move, the hand would move, and the spear would move. Using the mind and the eye at the same time, one's reaction speed would be as fast as lightning. This was what it meant to be called [Mastery].
Just as Ouyang Shuo was deep in thought, a low roar came from not far away.
"Moo ~ ~ ~ ~"
Accompanied by the roar, a giant armored beast walked out from the shrubs. It had an ugly appearance.
The giant beast was more than five meters long, more than two meters tall, and weighed a few tons. From afar, it looked like a mountain of flesh, and it gave off a strong sense of oppression, making people feel suffocated.
The giant beast's body was abnormally thick, and its four short limbs were like four iron pillars, supporting its heavy body. Its entire body was covered in thick, armor-like skin, and it was covered in hard scales that gleamed with a cold light.
Its huge head was similar to a bull's head, and there was a single horn on its snout. It was also as hard as iron, and it gleamed with a cold light. The funniest thing was that there was a pair of small eyes on both sides of its huge head, and it looked very uncoordinated.
The giant beast roared as it walked toward the Imperial Guard Brigade. Its four thick limbs caused the surrounding shrubs and leaves to rustle as it walked in the wilderness.
"Formation!" Wang Feng didn't dare to be negligent. (To be continued.)
