Chapter 370 [Westwind Plateau] [Where the Ancient Dragon is Buried]
"Carles?"
"Did she really come too?"
To Carles Although Gord's tone was a little complicated, he was not surprised.
After all, that is his daughter.
Gord knew very well, what would Carles do in this situation?
However, not long ago, his daughter was not a daughter.
Suddenly.
Gold noticed something in Shane's tone and asked.
"Are you... the Captain Shane whom Carles mentioned?"
Shane admitted frankly: "It's me."
Gold's tone couldn't help but be a little surprised: "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
"And, Captain Shane, you can join the infiltration operation , I’m afraid he’s already a sixth-level Secret Pather, right?”
“This speed of promotion… is really terrifying.”
Of course Gold has heard about it from Carles. Xia En's original state.
After just a short time, he was promoted to the sixth level.
Even from the perspective of Gord, a legendary strongman, this is already a genius among geniuses.
However, what would Gord think if he knew that Shane had defeated a legendary undead just before?
"Sha...sha..."
At this moment, some noise came from the communicator.
Gord's voice immediately turned serious.
“The signal of the internal communicator in [Great Yan] is unstable and may be disconnected at any time.”
“I will keep the story short and tell you the intelligence we have recently collected.”
“You should know that there are these five nodes inside [Great Flame].”
“After sacrificing several soldiers in the investigation, we can confirm that-these five nodes, respectively Located in 5 different memory scenes."
"The first scene, which is also the easiest to enter, is the Fanyan City of Dayan Kingdom."
"This scene is not very dangerous in terms of risk alone, but the node seems to be located deep in the palace. Under layers of protection, it is not easy to eliminate him."
"It is best to explore this scene after joining up with other companions."
"Uh..."
Xia En hesitated for a moment, then said.
"Actually, we just destroyed the node of that memory scene."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, even Colonel Gold couldn't help but be stunned.
“Have you reunited with other members of the operation?”
Xia En replied: “No, not counting the other companion, there are only two of us.”
"It seems that I still underestimated Captain Shane."
Shocked, Gord didn't think Shane would lie about this kind of thing, so he continued.
“As for the second memory scene, it seems to be on an uninhabited ice field.”
“However, what seems to be hidden underground in that ice field?”
Icefield...underground...
Xia En's expression immediately changed slightly, and he thought of the underground research institute that An Bing had mentioned.
Could it be that another node is hidden in that research institute?
Furthermore, since the node of the Fanyan City scene is King Xin.
So, will similar situations occur in other memory scenes?
More importantly.
In different memory fragments, King Xin may have different attitudes towards them.
"Sha...the third node is...Sha..."
At this time, the noise in the communicator became more and more obvious, and Gord also accelerated his speaking speed.
“It is suspected to be the ruins after the destruction of the Great Yan Kingdom.”
“That memory scene is full of wandering undead. The level of danger is extremely high, and the information sent back by the soldiers is extremely limited. ”
"Currently, we have determined the memory scenes where these three nodes are located."
"What about you? Have you obtained any new information?
Xia En did not hide anything, said .
“In the scene in Fanyan City, the core node is King Xin himself. ”
“It was with his help that we eliminated a node. ”
"One more thing, there seems to be other infiltrators in the Great Yan Palace."
"According to my guess, they are most likely members of the [Truth Society], please be careful!"
"[Truth Society]?"
Colonel Gold's tone was obviously confused.
“Aren’t they acting with you?”
"After all, the [Truth Society]'s position on this matter should be consistent with ours, right?"
It is understandable that Gold would have such an idea.
After all, when they were trapped in the [Cold Sea], even the dispute between the three secret sects had not started yet.
In the eyes of ordinary people, no matter how crazy the [Truth Society] is, they will not sit back and watch the second great flood come.
Xia En originally had the same attitude.
However, after discovering that the founder of the [Truth Society], the Omniscient Sage, had been in contact with King Xin when the first great flood came.
Xia En's thoughts changed somewhat.
Their purpose of sneaking into [Great Flame] is definitely not so kind and simple.
However, this is ultimately Xia En’s subjective conjecture and cannot be used as real evidence.
He could only remind Gord: "No matter what, please be careful of the members of the [Truth Society], they are probably preparing some kind of larger conspiracy."
Hearing this, Gold did not continue to delve deeper, but said solemnly.
"I understand, I will be wary of them."
"The communication is going to be interrupted, Captain Shane, I wish you smooth operation."
" "A sound.
The voice in the communicator stopped suddenly, and Xia En couldn't help but feel a little heavy.
It is not difficult to guess that Colonel Gold and other crew members are most likely located somewhere on the King.
In the same space as this cabin.
But when they open the cabin door, Shane and the others will enter another memory scene.
It seems very close, but in fact it is far away.
Even the access to the communication band this time may be a small probability event.
It was almost impractical to locate Colonel Gold and rendezvous with them.
I am afraid it is for this reason.
After learning about the situation of Shane and others, Colonel Gold did not even say a word like "asking for rescue".
And from just a few words from Gord, Shane could tell——
The condition of the crew of the [King] was probably exhausted and was about to reach the limit of endurance. .
After the communication is disconnected this time, whether or not Gord's signal can be received again may become a problem.
But now, all Xia En can do is believe in them.
Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Xia En asked.
"Ms. An Bing, how are you resting?"
An Bing replied: "No problem, I can leave at any time."
"On the contrary, Captain Xia En, your injury..."
She looked at Xia En with concern.
Xia En waved his hand: "It's just a small injury, and it has all healed now."
Hearing this, An Bing's expression couldn't help but be a little weird.
That was a full blow from the legendary strongman.
Even with this special robe as protection, it is not something that ordinary people can handle.
Didn’t Xia En vomit blood earlier?
It was okay so quickly?
This physique is simply more terrifying than any ancient ferocious beast.
However, An Bing, who has seen Xia En's extraordinary qualities several times, has become somewhat accustomed to it. Compared with defeating the legend head-on, this is just a small thing.
Later.
Xia En and the other two walked to the door, took a deep breath, and opened the door.
Huh——
A icy cold wind blew in my face.
What you can see is a gray sky.
In front of us is an endless wilderness.
A layer of gray-white frost covered the ground, making it look even more desolate.
The sky and the earth in the distance are almost indistinguishable.
Standing on such an ice sheet will make people feel extremely small.
After seeing this ice field, An Bing's expression suddenly changed.
Memories from the past began to come to mind, making her mood particularly complicated.
An Bing said: "This is the place where I found out that my family members were kidnapped by [Black Flame Walker].
"That is to say, the research institute is most likely located here. Underground in an ice sheet. ”
“Sure enough...”
The moment he saw this wasteland, Xia En had a similar suspicion.
And An Bing's words prove this.
An Bing continued: "This ice sheet is called [Westerly Plateau]. Because of its higher altitude, it is colder than other places in [The Far North]."
"Even if After King Xin founded the Great Yan Kingdom, the temperature in the West Wind Plateau was still very low, making it unsuitable for ordinary people to live.”
“It is basically an undeveloped no-man’s land.”
< br>
Speaking of these past events, An Bing's eyes showed a little sparkle.
“It’s just that there are two unique and rare specialties on this plateau.”
“One is [Ultra North Ice Crystal Mine], and the other is [Western Ice Crystal Mine]. Wind and Frost Wolf】"
"The former. It is an excellent secret power transmission material that can be used to make precious relics. It can be called a strategic reserve resource of the [Great Yan Kingdom]."
"King Xin once set up an ice crystal mine here. Mine.”
"The latter are unique creatures that have absorbed the icy secret power of [West Wind Plateau]."
"Their hearts, blood, and horns on their heads can all be used to practice as [Ice and Snow People] ”
“So, here is also [ice] People of the Snow] is an excellent place for training.”
“Generally, when they reach adulthood, our people will come to the [Xifeng Plateau] to hunt frost wolves.”
“This is to exercise their practical abilities. , also to obtain resources for practice.”
"That's it."
Xia En nodded, and he gained more understanding of this [Westwind Plateau].
Just looking at this vast ice field, Xia En felt a little confused.
It’s not like Fanyan City has a core and precise palace as a target.
The ice field in front of us is too desolate and too vast.
There are no buildings with any signs on the surface.
Finding the research institute hidden underground here is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
But in the current situation, it seems that we can only bite the bullet and find it.
Soon.
Xia En and the two headed towards the depths of the ice field.
The icy cold wind blew on the two of them like knives, bringing a biting chill.
I have to say.
The temperature in [Westerly Plateau] is indeed extremely low.
Ordinary secret travelers may not be able to withstand the extremely cold weather here.
Fortunately, Xia En’s physique is extraordinary.
There is also a black flame robe for keeping warm, so there is no big problem for a while.
Looking at An Bing beside her, not only was she not affected by the cold, the aura on her body became more stable and powerful.
It’s like...
The secret power of ice and cold in the body has been replenished!
Not only that, an icy blue light gradually appeared in An Bing's eyes.
The ends of the hair also show a similar color.
Obviously, this is the unique blood talent of [People of Ice and Snow], which can draw the power of ice and cold for their own use.
This icy and snowy environment is like their home stadium.
[The people of ice and snow] are like a fish in water here and are able to display their true strength.
An Bing said.
"Captain Xia En, if you encounter any battles next, leave it to me first."
"You should conserve your strength first to deal with more powerful enemies."
Xia En was not polite to An Bing and nodded.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Miss An Bing."
Maybe their words became the crow's mouth.
Within a few minutes, several muffled wolf howls were heard not far away.
Xia En looked in the direction of the howling and saw a few small dots appearing on the ice field.
Several giant wolves with gray fur were approaching Xia En and the two.
What is strange is that these giant wolves generally have a pair of sharp horns on their heads.
Inexplicably, Xian Ge's dragon horns are somewhat similar to Xia En's impression.
Seeing these giant wolves approaching, An Bing did not panic at all, but a look of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.
She introduced.
“That’s the [West Wind Frost Wolf], it’s been a long time since we last saw it.”
“I remember my coming-of-age ceremony back then, which required me to kill one alone on this ice field. [West Wind Frost Wolf]"
"That was also the first bloody battle I experienced in my life."
Hearing this, Xia En secretly clicked his tongue.
I didn’t expect that An Bing, who is now elegant and luxurious, had such an experience in the past.
But think about it.
[The people of ice and snow] must have their own uniqueness in being able to establish themselves in such a harsh environment as [the Far North].
This slightly cruel coming-of-age ceremony is probably the reason why their tribe is so brave and good at fighting.
However, Xia En was still a little curious about the strange appearance of [West Wind Frost Wolf].
"What is the opposite corner?"
An Bing explained: "That is one of the characteristics of the [West Wind Frost Wolf]."
"It is said that in this area An ancient dragon was once buried under the ice sheet."
"Perhaps for this reason, the creatures on the [Xifeng Plateau] will more or less have the blood of the ancient dragon."
"But this legend is too old. I don't know whether it is true or false."
"The bloodline of the ancient dragon..."
Xia En looked thoughtful.
He suddenly heard a familiar name here, which made him a little surprised.
But he didn’t think much about it, thinking it was a simple coincidence.
at the same time.
Those [Western Frost Wolves] have already approached Xia En and the two of them.
In those pairs of wolf eyes, there is a desire for prey, coldness, and the slightest fear.
They probably realized that the two humans in front of them were not simple, so they did not launch an attack immediately.
Seeing this, Xia En simply let out a low roar.
The ancient dragon bloodline in his body was activated, exuding the majesty of a dragon.
"Ouch! Ouch——"
As soon as the frost wolves noticed this aura, they were so frightened that they fled away with their tails between their legs.
An Bing glanced at Xia En faintly: "Captain Xia En, didn't you agree to let me take action?"
